A Teen's Take

POMEROY–My freshman high school year certainly turned into one challenging and stressful time, and it seems like I have been holding my breath. But it is finally coming to a close.
It is funny about stress though; you don’t realize the pressure you are under until you look back onto it. Like back in seventh grade when I played sports, managed the softball team and found school work to be more difficult and time consuming, it brought on more stress than I was used to. Things happened to me I didn’t expect, such as acne and weight gain. But during the summer, that all changed. Just like now, with summertime just ahead, I can anticipate things will normalize. That will make life seem pretty good again.
Some of the firsts I get to experience this summer are being able to drive and getting the chance to lifeguard at the local pool. It will also be nice to see my friends again doing fun summer activities, spend time at the pool swimming and working on my tan lines and finally taking time to just exhale.
Even with all of the bad things in the world right now, there’s just something about summer that always seems to make everything just a little bit better.
Congratulations to Pomeroy’s 2020 COVID graduates! Wishing you good things in your future. Now, let’s get ready for a fantastic summer!
